| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9 |
The properties of the Event class carry basic information about an event, such as the event's type or whether the event's default behavior can be canceled. For many events, such as the events represented by the Event class constants, this basic information is sufficient. Other events, however, may require more detailed information. The Adobe® AIR™ API defines several Event subclasses for common events that require additional information. Events associated with each of the Event subclasses are described in the documentation for each class.
The methods of the Event class can be used in event listener functions to affect the
behavior of the event object. Some events have an associated default behavior.
For example, the closing event dispatched by a NativeWindow object
has an associated default behavior that closes the window. Your event listener can cancel this
behavior by calling the preventDefault() method.
Note: Some of the constants in this class are used to define the type
property for events that are dispatched by ActionScript 3.0 display list, used in SWF content. However, some
constants in this class are used to define the type property for events that are not
related to the ActionScript 3.0 display list and are useful in JavaScript code running in the AIR runtime.

| clone | () | method |
function clone():Event| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9 |
Duplicates an instance of an Event subclass.
Returns a new Event object that is a copy of the original instance of the Event object.
You do not normally call clone(); the EventDispatcher class calls it automatically
when you redispatch an event—that is, when you call dispatchEvent(event) from a handler
that is handling event.

preventDefault() method has been called,
returns true; otherwise, returns false.
Boolean — If preventDefault() has been called, returns true; otherwise,
returns false.
|

| preventDefault | () | method |
function preventDefault():void| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9 |
Cancels an event's default behavior if that behavior can be canceled.
Many events have associated behaviors that are carried out by default.
For example, if a user clicks the close box of a window,
the default behavior is that the window closes. Because the closing
event's default behavior can be canceled, you can use the preventDefault()
method to prevent the window from closing.
You can use the Event.cancelable property to check whether you can prevent
the default behavior associated with a particular event. If the value of
Event.cancelable is true, then preventDefault() can
be used to cancel the event; otherwise, preventDefault() has no effect.
